Announcement: Suspension of development of open-source poker solver project

[b-inary]

As mentioned in the README, from October 2023, I have started developing a poker solver as a business and have decided to suspend development of this open-source project. Therefore, the following repositories will no longer be updated and I will no longer respond to issues and pull requests.

• Postflop solver engine: https://github.com/b-inary/postflop-solver
• WASM Postflop: https://github.com/b-inary/wasm-postflop
• Desktop Postflop: https://github.com/b-inary/desktop-postflop

This issue is for developers and users to discuss these repositories. I am very sorry that I will no longer be able to provide support, but I sincerely hope that such support can be replaced on a community basis.

I am proud to be the first open-source developer of a decent and reliable poker solver. However, at the same time, this project heavily relied on my personal motivation and was not sustainable. One of the reasons for this decision was that I thought it might be better to announce the suspension of development rather than to leave the project without any updates.

I do not know how this decision will turn out. However, this simply means that I will no longer update these repositories, and therefore they will remain available to the public, and of course it is perfectly fine to fork, redistribute, modify, etc., under the AGPL license. Also, if a worthy successor comes along, I may update the README of these repositories and provide links to them as an exception.

Lastly, I would like to thank everyone who has supported, contributed to, or used this project. If there were not so many people interested in this project, I would have quit development earlier and in a more ambiguous way. I am sad that I will not be able to be involved, but I am very excited to see what comes next for the poker development community through the spirit of open source.
